Item Description

A very showy and unusual combination from the Erongos. The lustrous, translucent, intergrown, bi-colored green fluorite crystals have unusual rounded and frosted faces. The fluorites rest on a sculptural matrix of glassy, transparent to translucent, smoky quartz crystals. The sharply terminated large smoky is 4.5 cm long and is dusted with hyalite opal. Purple fluorite fluorescence in LW UV and neon-green fluorescence for the hyalite opal under SW UV light. A very classy, glassy and excellent combination piece with many display views.
